Test cases developed in Labview

[sam836]

Can someone please help to answer below question -

1. Can we execute test cases developed in Labview from OpenTAP?-
2. How can we add the VI from labview in OpenTAP? Has anyone tried this?
3. Which is the preferred language to use with OpenTAP

We can see the thread here for someone that has tried this, I know a few others have as well:

3. This is really up to your preference. We have SDK’s in C# and Python, and those are the most common, but like LabVIEW above it is fairly easy to integrate with any other programming language.

Can you share a bit more on what it is you are looking for and trying to do? I think this is an interesting topic for many here.
